complete verse (Job 1:5)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Job 1:5:

  • Kupsabiny: “When all those children finished celebrating every feast, the father called them so that he could cleanse them. Job got up in the morning when the feast was over and made sacrifices that are burned completely. He made those sacrifices for each one of those children. He said in his stomach, ‘My children might have disrespected God cursing (him) in the stomach (silently).’ He was making those sacrifices all the time.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “After the feast is over Job would send someone to call his sons and daughters to him and to make them ceremonially clean. And rising early in the morning he would offer burnt offering, because he would have in mind, "My children might have sinned and might have cursed God in their heart." Job always would do like this.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “After- each feast is -over, Job really sacrifices/offers so-that his children will-be-clean. He rises-up early and offers burnt offerings for each of his child for he was-thinking that perhaps his children have-sinned and have-spoken evil against God. This was what Job always did.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “When each celebration ended, Job would summon them. He would get up early in the morning and kill animals and burn them on the altar as sacrifices, one for each of his children. He said to himself, ‘Perhaps one of my sons has sinned and said something evil about God in his heart.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
